Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9852600A1] The invention relates to glucagon-related peptides and their use for the prevention or treatment of disorders involving the upper gastrointestinal tract including the esophagus and stomach. In particular, it has now been demonstrated that GLP-2 and peptidic agonists of GLP-2 can cause proliferation of the tissue of the upper gastrointestinal tract. Thus, the invention provides methods of proliferating the upper gastrointestinal tract in a subject in need thereof. Further, the methods of the invention are useful to treat or prevent inflammatory conditions of the upper gastrointestinal tract, including inflammatory diseases. GLP-2 stimulates the growth of upper gastrointestinal tissue when administered in conjunction with other peptide hormones. The invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions of GLP-2 with at least one other peptide hormone, methods of enhancing the growth of upper gastrointestinal tissue and of gastrointestinal disorders by increasing serum levels of GLP-2 and at least one other peptide hormone, an kits for performing the methods of the invention.
